To vote for board members, a person must be an eligible elector in the district. An eligible elector is someone who is:

• a U.S, citizen, aged 18 years or older;
• registered to vote in Colorado; and
• a resident of the district, OR someone who lives outside the district, but owns (or whose spouse or civil union partner owns) property within the district. See map of boundaries.

Election Day is Tuesday, May 2. The polls are open 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. that day.

The Health District Board of Directors election is scheduled as a polling-place election although voting by mail using an absentee ballot is available. (See information below.)

The polling places are:

• Health District, 120 Bristlecone Drive, Fort Collins
• Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church, 4501 South Lemay Ave., Fort Collins

Because Special District election regulations are different than other elections, voters will not automatically receive a ballot in the mail for this election, even if they normally vote by mail in all other local elections UNLESS they have previously voted in a Health District Board of Directors election and requested to be on the Health District's permanent absentee voter list.

Anyone who requested to be on the permanent absentee voter list will receive a ballot in the mail in early April.
